A Bright Thread

Restore Value asks; what if waste material was perceived as the greatest untapped resource? This research challenges the archetypes of spatial practice through various design processes and methods that give agency to waste material. Reusing reclaimed building materials could be a pivotal method to reduce overall material waste and decrease the need for new extraction, looking at demolition waste as a potential reservoir for future materials. Due to the large amounts of waste from the interior industry, this work reframes demolition waste to celebrate the imperfections aesthetically.

Restore Value

People recovering from stroke who have upper limb problems aren’t fully adhering to their rehabilitation exercises and how clinicians aren’t able to keep up to date with their patient’s progress. As a part of a smart wearable stroke rehabilitation system, this project developed an intuitive app for clinicians to track progress and interact with patients.

Buzznudge clinician's app

A rangatahi residence in the community. Designed to encourage each rangatahi who comes to stay to engage with their own Rangatiratanga/self determination. Spatial and atmospheric flexibility has been emphasised, while also maintaining a safe and secure home. The framing of a central courtyard acts as both a boundary and creates a sense of play between the interior and exterior. Each interior space has a unique relationship with this central communal space and the outside, enabling rangatahi to rehabilitate without a feeling of imprisonment, but rather a punanga/refuge in the community.
